title: [The determination of the density of the tissue in selected muscles of normal subjects--a prerequisite to the computed tomographic diagnosis of myopathies].
abstract: Radio-density analysis of selected muscles of normal probands exhibited differences in dependence on age and sex of the probands. Men have a higher muscle density than women. With increasing age muscle densities decrease but with different extent for various muscles. The main value for the decreasing muscle density is 2 HE in 10 years. Well trained sportsmen exhibit slightly increased densities with a significant decreased range of derivations from the mean values. That means their muscles show a more homogeneous density distribution than the controls.
